Illegal alien advocacy groups tonight are demanding that the federal government stop altogether the arrest and deportations of illegal aliens.

The illegal alien lobby also wants permanent U.S. residency for every illegal alien already in this country.

The advocacy groups appear to be funded by so-called immigrant rights foundations supported by corporate America, as well as by membership fees, of course.

Gloria Saucedo of Hermandad Mexicana said: "We come here to request the president to stop the deportation in the race because it's not good for the country ."

The National Alliance of Latin American and Caribbean Communities is in Washington, D.C., lobbying lawmakers to support its so-called new course on immigration reform. Among its demands, unlimited amnesty for illegal aliens.
